Green Sunday River, ME
Second Thoughts drops 76 vertical feet over 641 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 118th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 7°, Second Thoughts gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,390 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
